Find the (a) mean, (b) median, (c) mode, and (d) midrange for the data and then (e) answer the given question. Listed below are the jersey numbers of 11 players randomly selected from the roster of a championship sports team. What do the results tell us?
36, 66, 12, 33, 9, 6, 86, 48, 10, 72, 70
(a) Find the mean.
(Type an integer or a decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
(b) Find the median.
The median is 36.
(Type an integer or a decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
(c) Find the mode.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A. The mode(s) is(are) ______.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
B. There is no mode.
(d) Find the midrange.
The midrange is 46.
(Type an integer or a decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
(e) What do the results tell us?
A. The midrange gives the average (or typical) jersey number, while the mean and median give two different interpretations of the spread of possible jersey numbers.
B. The jersey numbers are nominal data and they do not measure or count anything, so the resulting statistics are meaningless.
C. The mean and median give two different interpretations of the average (or typical) jersey number, while the midrange shows the spread of possible jersey numbers.
D. Since only 11 of the jersey numbers were in the sample, the statistics cannot give any meaningful results.
The accompanying data are high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol measurements (mg/dL) from 100 subjects in a health study. Use technology to find the mean and median. Identify the highest value. Does it appear to be an outlier? Do the mean and median change much when that highest value is deleted?
